October 2008 ~ John Lennon
Drawings and Prints

John began drawing long before he owned a guitar.   He attended the prestigious Liverpool Art Institute for three years (1957-1960) before the Beatles became a full-time occupation and he continued to draw throughout his life.   His drawings are whimsical yet poetic, a true reflection of the man himself.   His primary medium was line drawing, either in pen, pencil, or Japanese sumi ink.  

Limited edition prints from the ‘Real Love’ and ‘Dakota Building’ collections will be available.  The lithographs, serigraphs, and copper etchings are hand-reproduced from the original drawings and each edition comes with a certificate of authenticity from the Lennon Estate.  

Lennons work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

September 2008 ~ Sebastian Kruger

Sebastian Krüger was born in Hamlin, Germany in 1963. He studied painting and graphic arts and quickly moved on to make his living as an illustrator, and painter.

Krüger’s works are appreciated and collected by many Hollywood notables, and his painterly twists on Bogart, Schwarzenegger John Wayne, The Rolling Stones, are classics of their kind.

Never before has an artist displayed such an acute ability to capture the essence of those who occupy the public eye.

Perhaps Krüger's most remarkable talent is his ability to bring diverse painting techniques and styles to a given subject. Krüger's works range from drawings, to abstract paintings and photo-realism, and he has mastered each difficult variant with remarkable skill.

June 2008
Peter Ind ~ Solo Exhibition
Artist, Jazz Musician, Author and Environmentalist

We are delighted to be exhibiting Peters new work. Peter Ind has lived in St. Margaret's for many years and if you have ever shopped here you might have seen him. In fact you cannot miss him – he has long flowing white hair and a beard to match. “The Gandalf of the double bass” as David Calder once described him.

Peter has painted since he was a child and has exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art in London. He has honed his talents over the years with an unrelenting passion, painting the landscape wherever he happens to be in the world. He remembers being so inspired by Van Gogh, that he drove an old scooter across Europe and went to paint in Arles (twice!).
